The second princess Di Xing entered the bedroom and said, "I pay homage to my mother."

The empress gestured to her to sit down and talk.

"Your elder sister checked the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue and found a huge deficit, which involved the drought in Caozhou last year, starving 120,000 people to death. Caozhou Governor Zhao Min has been taken to Daughter City. You can try this case."

The Empress said it very lightly, and Di Xingwan was not surprised at all, as if all this was expected.

"What kind of results do the mother hopes to get?"

Di Xingwan said lightly.

The empress sighed helplessly: "Let's examine the matter first, let's talk about other matters."

Di Xingwan stood up and said, "My son understand."

Yingfeng immediately handed over Zhao Min to Di Xingwan.

....

Daming Palace.

The empress sat on the phoenix chair, and the ministers below were divided into two groups of civil and military officials.

Long Chen stood in the civil servant sequence, and Jing Heng was ahead because the Ministry of Revenue was in front of the Ministry of Works.

The eldest princess stood in front, Di Xingwan followed, and Di Luoxi stood in the first place of the military general.

The ministers looked strange and no one spoke. They learned more or less some news that the Caozhou Governor Zhao Min was arrested, which involved the issue of disaster relief funds from the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue is under the responsibility of Jing Heng. The Jing family has controlled the Ministry of Revenue for so many years, but there is a problem with the Ministry of Revenue, which means there is a problem with the Jing family.

There was a conflict between the imperial court and the general's mansion.

Everyone felt that the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building, and the court suddenly became unstable.

The Minister of Revenue Jing Heng's expression was plain and he did not take it seriously at all. Chen Hanying, the Minister of Revenue behind, was trembling, fearing that he would lose his life by accident.

The empress's face was a little bad, her tone was a little cold, and she said, "If you have something to say, you will leave the court without any trouble."

Di Yuwei walked out of the train and said, "Mother, the account of the Ministry of Revenue has been found out."

After Di Yuwei finished speaking, the whispers in the court stopped abruptly, the air suddenly solidified, and needles fell around him could be heard.

"Tell me."

The empress spoke lightly.

Di Yu said loudly: "After investigation, the Ministry of Revenue has lost 7 million taels."

Buzz...

The court was in full swing!

The ministers knew that the treasury would definitely have a deficit in Jing Heng's hands, but they didn't expect that there would be so many deficits.

"7 million taels? Why are there so many?"

"It's unreasonable. Isn't our treasury's income and expenditure surplus every year?"

"This...how did the management of the Ministry of Revenue reach this point?"

"Be careful of your words! Be careful of your words!"

The ministers couldn't help but turn their eyes to Jing Heng.

At this moment, Jing Heng was also stunned, and the number of this deficit exceeded his estimate.

He remembered that he only earned 2 million taels from the Ministry of Revenue, so what about the remaining 5 million taels?

Jing Heng turned his head and glanced at Chen Hanying who was bowing his head.

The empress looked gloomy and looked at the ministers in the court, especially Jing Heng, and said coldly: "Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, tell me what happened? Why is there such a huge deficit?"

Jing Heng gritted his teeth and walked out and said, "The emperor, it is because the ministers are not well-managed and have not found out what they do, which has led to a huge deficit in the treasury, and the ministers are not to blame."

This Jing Heng only said that he was not well-managed and did not say that he made money.

Di Luoxi sneered: "Is Secretary Jing just a poor management?"

Jing Heng said angrily: "The Fourth Princess wants to say that I was greedy for the Ministry of Revenue's silver?"

Di Luoxi sneered and did not answer.

Di Yuwei continued, "There is still something for me to report."

The empress said, "Say!"

Di Yuwei continued to report: "When checking the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue, the son found that the cost of 100,000 taels of carriages and horses used for disaster relief in Caozhou last year was false. Caozhou Governor Zhao Min sold Caozhou's official title in the name of disaster relief and embezzled the food for disaster relief, causing Caozhou to starve 120,000 people to death."

boom...

The ministers in the court did not whisper, but were furious.

"This is too courageous!"

"Ten hundred and twenty thousand people starve to death!"

"If the food sold to officials does not provide disaster relief, they dare to withdraw car and horse fees from the Ministry of Revenue?"

Almost all officials in the court had problems with corruption, but such unscrupulous corruption made these people stunned and could not believe it.

Bang!

"Damn it!"

The empress slapped the armrest of the phoenix chair to pieces, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Where is Zhao Min!"

Di Xingwan walked out and said, "My son reported that Zhao Min had been sent to the Heavenly Prison. After interrogation, Zhao Min confessed and confessed to her accomplices. This was a document for interrogation."

Di Xingwan presented the document to the painting.

The ministers in the court had long heard that Zhao Min was arrested, and this time he went to court was just a disposal.

The empress read the document and said angrily: "Look at it! Zhao Min and others dare to be greedy for disaster relief!"

"Twelve thousand people were starved to death. Such dog officials are not enough to calm the anger of the public without being killed! Correct the rules and regulations!"

"The Censorate will arrest all the documents confessed by Zhao Min, and kill them without any reservation!"

Bai Anning, the Censor of the Censorate, bowed and said, "I am going to receive the order!"

Yingfeng gave the engraved document to Bai Anning.

The empress sat back on the phoenix chair that was being slapped, looked at Jing Heng, and said coldly: "Does the Minister of Revenue have nothing to say?"

Jing Heng walked out with a tough bullet and said, "Weichen is not good at managing the Ministry of Revenue, so he requests punishment."

The empress said coldly: "This is the account. How is the deficit of these 7 million taels? I ask you to check it yourself, especially the carriage and horse fees for disaster relief in Caozhou. Whoever gives it, you must check it out!"

The stone in Jing Heng's heart fell to the ground.

If Jing Heng asked him to investigate by himself, he would give him a chance to find a scapegoat. After all, the empress did not dare to fight against the General's Mansion.

The ministers in the court also felt that the empress needed Jing Tianlie to take charge of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and would not turn against the Jing family.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness."

Jing Heng bowed deeply.

The empress stood up and retired.

From beginning to end, Long Chen didn't say a word, just looked at him coldly.

After the court dispersed, Long Chen and Di Luoxi returned to the West Palace together.

Jing Heng left the Daming Palace and returned to the Ministry of Revenue. Chen Hanying, the Minister of Revenue, stood in front of him, his face pale and sweating all over.

"7 million taels? I only got 2 million taels, where did the remaining 5 million taels go?"

Jing Heng squinted his eyes, his chubby face seemed to be smiling, and he looked like a smiling tiger.

"Sir, there are so many people in the Ministry of Revenue. If they don't get benefits, we can't hide it."

"Our court's Ministry of Revenue also needs to reconcile accounts with the local Ministry of Revenue. They do not get benefits and will not sign and seal."

"I went here and there for a lot of money."

The Ministry of Revenue has a requirement for reconciliation, which is how much the local government pays, and in the end, the Ministry of Revenue approved the payment.

The Ministry of Revenue allocates to local governments, and the local governments must also approve how much they have collected.

If you make fake accounts, you will definitely do a complete set, and everyone from top to bottom will get benefits.

Bang!

Jing Heng crawled out from behind the desk, stepped forward and slapped Chen Hanying in the face, cursing: "Fuck! Does it cost so much money to make money inside and outside? You think I'm stupid!"

"You can return it to me as much as you get! After all, you are just my slave!"

"If there is such a big problem this time, you can't survive. Go back and say goodbye to your wife and children, and you will get the crime yourself tomorrow!"

"Don't think about anything else, otherwise your parents and children will go on the road together!"

Chen Hanying felt nervous, now it's over.

Parents and children go on the road together, and your wife stays?

Jing Heng is lustful and has long been coveting Chen Hanying's wife, but he just didn't do anything for his sake.

Now, after Chen Hanying died, her wife was sleeping, her child was beaten, and the house became someone else's.

"Sir, please spare me..."

Chen Hanying knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
